Preview The New Audrey Hepburn Anniversary Exhibition

Dogs In Vogue

DOGS In Vogue may seem a curious fashion concept to some, but fashion historian Judith Watt assures us - in her pictorial history of the same name - that our furry friends have figured prominently in almost a century of fashion imagery.

Meet Watt herself this Saturday, November 14, as she signs copies of the book at the LK Bennett store in Duke of York Square from 12 - 2pm.

"The next best thing to having the world at your feet is to have a dog at your heels," Vogue wrote in 1930. "They are the only friends that money can buy. They are philosophers and scamps, mystics, snobs and saints. Some are at home on a satin cushion while others amiably fit in anywhere." From the Duchess of Newcastle's borzois to Marc Jacobs' English bull terrier Alfred, dogs have graced the pages of Vogue for decades - photographed by such luminaries as Cecil Beaton, Lee Miller, Helmut Newton, Snowdon, David Bailey and Mario Testino. Dogs in Vogue is now available and features over 250 canine images from the Vogue archives. The book signing will take place at LK Bennett, 20-23 Duke of York Square, Sloane Square, SW3. Spend £500 in the store and receive a signed copy of the book. YOU SHOULD SEE: The current issue of Vogue...
